Results are based on telephone interviews conducted June 7-July 1, 2016 with 3,270adults, aged 18+, living in
all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, including oversamples of black and Hispanic adults. All
respondents had previously been interviewed in the Gallup Daily tracking survey. The total sample is weighted
to represent racial and ethnic groups proportionately to their share of the U.S. population. For results based on
this sample of national adults, the margin of error is 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
For results based on sample of 1,320-- non-Hispanic whites, the maximum margin of sampling error is 4
percentage points.
For results based on sample of 912-- non-Hispanic blacks, the maximum margin of sampling error is 5
percentage points.
For results based on sample of 906-- Hispanics, the maximum margin of sampling error is 6 percentage
points. (271 out of the 906 interviews with Hispanics were conducted in Spanish).
For results based on sample of 1,755-- men, the maximum margin of sampling error is 4 percentage points.
For results based on sample of 1,513-- women, the maximum margin of sampling error is 5 percentage points.
Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews
conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking.
Samples are weighted to correct for unequal selection probability and non-response. They are also weighted to
match the national demographics of gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, population density,
and phone status (cell phone-only/landline only/both and cell phone mostly). Demographic weighting targets
are based on the March 2015 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older U.S. population.
Phone status targets are based on the January-June 2015 National Health Interview Survey. Population density
targets are based on the 2010 census. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design
effects due to weighting.
In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce
error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.
